How can I add co-authors to my iPoster?

You can invite one or more co-authors to help create or edit your iPoster. Added co-authors will have most of the same editing accesses that the main author does, however they will not be able to delete a poster or add /delete other co-authors. Once invited they will receive a separate email with their own individual login instructions.

1. Click on My Settings in the main toolbar

My settings button from iPoster editor.

2. The first tab displayed when opened is Manage Co-Authors. Fill in your co-author’s details (first name, last name and email) then click the green send invite button. You can add a message if you want to. You may also choose, at any time, to include your co-authors in the Contact Author email list. This will mean that participants can contact authors individually when clicking on the contact author button as they view your poster.

3. Scroll down on this page to see your invited co-authors as shown below. If you need to delete a co-author and remove their access you can click on the trashcan symbol next to their details.

4. Your invited co-author will receive an email with a URL to access the iPoster system and their own unique login. To invite more co-authors repeat the above steps. Below is an example of the email they will receive.

Example email sent to a co-author when they have been invited to edit a poster.

Important: Only one person can edit an iPoster at any one time. If there are multiple people editing the same poster at the same time, you will not be able to save over changes another user has made before you.

The “DESIGN” button is missing in the Main Toolbar

No DESIGN button at the top of your Main Toolbar? This is because your conference organizer has disabled this function. They do this in order to standardize the design of each presentation at the event. They want authors and attendees to focus on content, rather than design.

How can I change my iPoster template?



Switch between interactive templates: use the Switch Template button on the main menu. If you switch to an interactive template with fewer content boxes than the one you have currently, the content from the extra content boxes will be found under Residual Content on the Main Menu. Follow the guide below for detailed instructions and screenshots.

Switch to or from a PDF template: Save a copy of your texts and any uploaded audio files. Delete your current poster by clicking on the DELETE button. This will return you to the Choose Template page. Previously uploaded images and videos will remain in the respective repositories.

Instructions for how to switch between interactive templates

1. Click on the yellow SWITCH TEMPLATE button on the main menu.

2. The following Switch Template screen will pop up. Select the template you want to change to. Note that the template you currently have will be grayed out.

3. I chose the template with 4 vertical content boxes.

4. Because I had more content boxes in my original template, any residual content can be found in the RESIDUAL CONTENT tab on the Main menu. Simply copy/paste the material as needed into the new template.

How do I share my iPoster?

You can share your iPoster online by clicking on the SHARE POSTER button in the Main Toolbar and copying the URL. Anybody with this URL will be able to view and interact with your poster as a participant at an onsite conference would. You can also use the available social media share buttons.

IPoster editor screen when the 'Share iPoster' button has been clicked. There is a pop up box showing the poster URL and 2 social media share buttons for Facebook and Twitter.

If you are going to share your screen during an online presentation we recommend that you either access your poster from the conference gallery or that you click on the Preview button to put into presentation mode.

Why can’t I log in to the iPoster editor?

If you’re having trouble logging in, the issue could be your operating system, browser, network, or router.

Please check the following:

  • You have the latest updates for your operating system: Windows, Mac or Linux.
  • You are using the latest version of your web browser: we recommend Chrome, Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari. Please note, we do not support Internet Explorer.

If you are still having issues logging in, please check with your IT department. It may be that you are being denied access because of a firewall at your organization. To confirm this, try logging in to the iPoster editor from another computer in another location and see if you are still experiencing the issue.

If you’re having problems while trying to connect from home, you might have a slow internet connection that is making it difficult to access the template.
